I have to cast a vote for what is, IMHO, one of the best holiday tunes to come out in recent years - Paul Simon's "Waiting For Christmas Day". It's the failure of what's remaining of current FM radio that this hasn't become a modern "standard." When I first heard it a couple of years ago (I think) my mind raced back to "Cecilia". For those of you who have not heard it, give it a listen. No mawkish sentimentality, no hitting you over the head with yuletide sappiness, a really sweet song with a KILLER ending lyric...
